Closing Your Eyes Won't Make Me Disappear

Don't Flatter Yourself

"Oh,it looks like the ninja from the Leaf are here."
"Hello sir,my name is Uzumaki Naruto.I was raised on ramen and hard work,I some day hope to be hokage believe it!"Naruto says trying to sound formal but it didn't sound as good as it looked.
"How ya' doing,Naruto?"the man asked firendly as ever at him."Pretty good,old man!"Naruto says grining going back to the classic Naruto."Now that the introductions are done how about we get started?"Sasuke asks cooly over to him I glanced at Sasuke frowning.He always acts so cold when it's around other people.He's better when it's just the team.He acts more calm and relax around just us.
"The Wasabi and Wagarashi familes have a race every year to determine which family rules the village,"he starts to explain but I zone out once he begins the story since I remembered this story and I coudln't help but snicker to myself secretly.Guess,father did teach it to us.He would always say bad things about them though.
"They should just battle it out,and whoever wins,rules.Simpler than a stupid race!"
Suddenly,the door opens and I glance over to see the guy from ealier."This is Morino Idate,our runner and the person who you are to protect,"the man,head of the Wasabi clan,told us looking at the boy.
So he was the runner?That's why he was that fast.He was almost as fast as Lee who was about the fastest person I'v ever seen next to my father.
Suddenly,someone grabed my arm and started to drag me.I snaped out my thoughts and look at Sasuke there.I glance around for Naruto and Idate but see them missiong."What happened?"I questioned confused."We're free to roam the town until the race starts,"Sasuke says to me as I take my arm away and glance around.We ended up walking into this small store.I glanced around the things with Sasuke following behind me.I stop when something catches my eye.I take the small box with the shiny thing in it and look at it slightly in trance."What is it?"Sasuke asks behind me.
I jump slightly at his voice.I could feel his breathe hiting my neck and it sent shivers down me."A-a neckless,"I say trying to cover up the nervousness he was giving me.I looked back at the neckless and turn around to show it to Sasuke."See,the engravement,it's just like my clan's symbol,"I show him and he looks at it looking curiosuly.I was surprised but I don't think it belonged to my clan.It was just probably a sort of a decoration but it just made me want it for some reason.I'm really not the type to go for these kinds of things and jewelry either.I glance at the price and felt a large cloud loom over me."That's to high for me,I spend most of my money on the Tea House back then,"I muttered disapointed.
"Oh,beleive me,I don't charging this much,but it's not my decision,the Wagarashi clan decides the prices,"the owner lady says walking over to us.I was about to say something when there was a big bang as the door brakes off it's hinges.Some guys were throwing around an old shop owner.
"Hey,we're part of the Wagarashi clan and what we want we take,"one of them states to the old man.I immmedietly tense up."I-I know what but,to take it without paying..."the old man says fearfully as one of the guys pick the old man up by the shoulder.I put the box case down and I took a step toward them but a hand on my arm stoped me.I glanced to see Sasuke looking at."Let me handle this,"he says to me and I just frown and nod as I step to the side and he walks over to them and stops the man from punching the old man."Hey punk,get out of here!"the man says looking scared but tries to cover it up while Sasuke looked at him coldly not budging."Alright,looks like we'll have to teach you a lesson."
I glance back at the lady owner who looked away from the fight as fighting sounds were heard.I couldn't help but smirk as I turned back to see the fight end."It's okay to look now,"I call out to the lady and the lady opens her eyes to see the three guys all beat up and Sasuke standing there proudly without not even one scratch.I let out a sigh but couldn't help to smile.
"That's what you get for messing with the Wagarashi clan..."one of the gus says as he limps slowly away.I sighed knowing Sasuke being stubborn and prideful as he his wouldn't let that be the last word.
Sasuke crached his knuckles and the men froze before running running off as fast as they could."Oh thank you young man!You don't know how appreciative we are!The Wagarashi clan is nothing but a bunch of bullies,"the old lady says walking back to her shop."Thank you so much young man,you really gave it good to those Wagarashi clan bullies,"the old man says over to Sasuke as he also walks back to his store.I walked to him with a lazy smirk on my face.
"You must be so proud.After all,you really gave it good to those Wagarashi bullies,"I say quoting the the thing the man said ealier earning a large smirk Sasuke as we start walking.
"Yes,I did didn't I?"
I glanced at Sasuke the same time he looked at me.Both with a smirk on our faces.
"Don't flatter youself,Uchiha."
